Yatai Dining in Fukuoka is a MUST-EXPERIENCE

DID YOU KNOW? Fukuoka is known for being the home of tonkotsu ramen in Japan. So, make sure to dig in when your visiting this beautiful prefecture in Kyushu region. You can find many tonkotsu ramen shop around Fukuoka but nothing beats the Yatai stalls in the city.

Yatai stalls are their version of Street Food stalls that scattered all around Fukuoka after sunset. Yatai's are tiny with over 7 to 10 people capacity to seat. You can't have your own table or chair while dining in. You will be seating in a long bench and eat shoulder to shoulder with other diners. If your unlucky, some Yatai stalls are jam-packed so you have to wait in line outside the stall until a spot opens up.

They offer variety of foods, from ramen, yakitori, dumplings, hot pot, oden and alcoholic drinks. Everything they serve here taste good and authentic!!! Prices are reasonable, dishes varies from 500 to 1000 yen per meal. My tonkotsu ramen was 1000yen.

Yatai's are normally open from 6pm to 2am and the best spot to find one is on the Southern end of Nakasu Island. Yatai stalls are situated next to each other and there are plenty to choose from. 

From there you can go to Fukuhaku Deai bridge as it offers panoramic views of the iconic night symbols of Fukuoka, with many neons lights at night filled with visitors and Yatai stalls.

Dining in Yatai is a MUST-EXPERIENCE in Fukuoka!!!
